faith, why didst thou doubt?

And they entered into the ship, and the wind ceased.

And they that were in the ship came and fell down before him, and said: Truly you are the Son of God.

And they sailed over, and came into the land of Galilee.

And when the men of the same place knew that he was there, they sent out into all the country round about, and brought unto him all manner of uncleanness.

And besought him that they might touch the hem of his garment. And all they that touched it were made whole.
(Matthew)
Chapter 15
Of the statutes of men, the Canaanite woman, and other wondrous works of Christ.

Then came unto him the scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem, saying: 2. Why transgressest thou the disciples of the elders? They wash not their hands when they eat
bread.

And he answered and said unto them: Why then do ye transgress the commandment of God for yourselves?

God has commanded: You shall honor your father and mother; but he who curses his father and mother shall surely be put to death.

But ye teach, Whosoever saith to his father or to his mother, If I offer it, it is more profitable for thee; he doeth well.

Thus it is that no man honoureth his father or his mother henceforth: and ye have therefore done away with the commandment of God for your own sakes.

Ye hypocrites, Isaiah hath prophesied of you, saying:

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.

But they serve me in vain, because they teach such doctrines as are not the commandments of men.

And he called the people unto him, and said unto them: Listen and hear.

That which goeth into the mouth defileth not a man: but that which cometh out of the mouth defileth a man.

Then came his disciples unto him, and said: Knowest thou also that the Pharisees were angry, when they heard the word?

But he answered and said, All plants which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.

Let them go! They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if one blind man lead another, they both fall into the pit.

Then Peter answered and said unto him, Interpret this parable unto us.

And JEsus said unto them, Are ye yet without understanding?

Do ye not yet perceive that whatsoever cometh into the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out by the natural course?

But that which goeth out of the mouth cometh out of the heart, and defileth the man.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts: murder, adultery, fornication, thievery, false witness, blasphemy.

These are the things that defile a man. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

And JEsus departed thence, and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

And, behold, a Canaanitish woman went out of that border, and cried after him, saying, Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on me. My daughter is afflicted with the devil.

And he answered her not a word. Then came his disciples unto him, and besought him, saying: Let her go from thee: for she cried after us.

And he answered and said: I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

And she came and fell down before him, and said, Lord, help me.

But he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to the dogs.

And she said, Yea, Lord; but yet the little dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters’
table.

And Jesus answered and said unto her, O Woman, thy faith is great: be it done unto thee according to thy will. And her daughter was healed that very hour.

And JEsus departed thence, and came unto the sea of Galilee, and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, and the blind, and the mute, and the crippled, and many others, and casting them before JEsu’s feet, he healed them, 31. And the people marvelled, when they saw that the dumb spake, and the crippled were healed, and that the lame walked, and that the blind saw; and they praised the God of Israel.

And JESUS called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the people: for now they tarry with me three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away from me without meat, lest they faint in the way.

And his disciples said unto him, Whence shall we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so many people?

And JEsus said unto them: How much bread have ye? And they said, Seven, and a little fish.

And he commanded the people to pitch on the ground.

And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained of the bread, seven baskets full.

And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

And when he had sent away the people, he entered into a ship, and came into the border of Magdala.
(Matthew)
Chapter 16

Then came the Pharisees and Sadducees unto him, tempting him, and demanding that he would let them see a sign from heaven.

But he answered and said, In the evening ye say, It shall be a good day: for the sky is red; 3. And in the morning ye say, There shall be a tempest this day: for the sky is red and cloudy. Ye hypocrites! Ye can judge the form of heaven; can ye not also judge the signs of this time?

This wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, save the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

And when his disciples were gone over, they had forgotten to take bread with them.

And JESUS said unto them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And they reasoned with themselves, and said: This is it, that we have not taken bread with us.

When JEsus heard it, he saith unto them: Ye of little faith, why are ye troubled, because ye took not bread with you?

Have ye not yet heard? Remember ye not the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Nor of the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

How is it that ye understand not that I tell you of bread, when I say, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Then they understood that he had not said that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Then came JEsus into the region of the city Caesarea Philippi, and asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

They said: Some say that thou art John the Baptist; others, that thou art Elijah; others, that thou art Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

And he said unto them: Who do ye say that I am?

Then Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And JEsus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon the son of Jonas: for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then commanded he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS the Christian.

From that time began JEsus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day.

And Peter took him, and addressed him, saying, Lord, spare thyself; let it not happen unto thee.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Remove thee, Satan, from me. Thou art vexed with me:
for thou meanest not what is godly, but what is human.

Then said JESUS unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

What would it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and yet lose his soul? Or what can man give that he may redeem his soul?

For it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then shall he reward every man according to his works.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
(Matthew)
Chapter 17

And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and led them aside into a high mountain.

And was glorified before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his raiment became white as the light.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

And Peter answered and said unto JESUS, Lord, here is good: if thou wilt, we will make here
